In the first of his two-lecture series, he spoke on the place of the \u201cI\u201d in writing and art in general. This has aptly been the most recurring question in the sessions each month. Somewhere in the middle of his address, he also said: \u201cI am never absent from my writings\u201d. This perpetual presence is even more of a pursuit for an illustrator as visualizing somebody else\u2019s text means that they have to find the ways in which they stitch their vision without overpowering that of the text and its author.<\/p>\n<p>This question of eking out a space for oneself in the midst of projects thrown one after the other by worldly commitments was also spoken about at length in a span of two sessions by Mr. Piyush Sekhsaria. This \u201cI\u201d is subject to the meandering roads of creative vocation. Having dabbled with different forms, routes, reading material, and genres, Mr. Varun Grover\u2019s session on writing and writing for children was an enlightening as well as empowering experience as he spoke about maintaining nonchalance while writing for children without covering up the political world they will soon inherit and carry on. The standard modus operandi remained at least one assignment per day with an interlude in the form of an interaction with one of the founding faculties, Mr. Atanu Roy wherein his works from different years, done in different media, were revisited and discussed. All in all, the August sessions pushed the envelope of pondering questions concerning art, creation, and subjectivity in a most sophisticated and unwavering manner.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2980e65 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2980e65\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35eadd8\" data-id=\"35eadd8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc01e94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bc01e94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Picture11-ph7l0yu4r0e8l3ucwhxee66r84zjxfj399p05zuwso.jpg\" title=\"Picture11\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8badfc0\" data-id=\"8badfc0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7474da elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e7474da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Picture12-ph7l0yu4r0e8l3ucwhxee66r84zjxfj399p05zuwso.jpg\" title=\"Picture12\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fb165b2\" data-id=\"fb165b2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05e96a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"05e96a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Picture13-ph7l0yu4r0e8l3ucwhxee66r84zjxfj399p05zuwso.jpg\" title=\"Picture13\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 2021 \u201cTo write a poem is to find a poem.\u201d With these words, the eminent Hindi writer, Mr. Vinod Kumar Shukla opened his address&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-riyaaz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5584"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8958,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5584\/revisions\/8958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyaaz.in\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
